Carney 63, Poilievre 14: Tariff Hardball, Vancouver's Poll Shock & 111 Wildfires | UnSpun Ep. 332

Episode 332 of UnSpun with Jody Vance and George Affleck runs from Ottawa's tariff standoff to a new Vancouver poll that reshapes the October election, and ends with a province on fire.Here's what's inside:Carney Plays Hardball on Tariffs: Mark Carney trolls Trump's failed teleprompter and refuses to negotiate in public. With a new round of tariffs landing August 19, George lays out why there is no point signing anything with a president whose signature isn't worth the paper, and predicts aluminum is where Trump finally blinks.Canada's Numbers Are Quietly Good: Over $200 billion in new foreign investment in a single year, oil revenues climbing, and a nearly balanced budget in sight. Carney's five-year, one-trillion-dollar investment target is somehow on track, and the opposition has very little to swing at.Aluminum, Potash and Real Leverage: American manufacturers and farmers are the ones bleeding. Jody and George break down which cards Canada actually holds, from critical minerals to winter energy, and why threatening to shut off the grid is not a strategy.Carney 63 Per Cent, Poilievre 14: The Conservative leader now polls one point above "undecided." George asks the question the caucus won't: at what point does a party tell its leader the act isn't working anymore?BC Conservatives Keep Bleeding: Another executive resignation, another scorched-earth farewell letter, and a party arguing about whether to purge its former BC Liberals. George explains why that coalition is the only thing that has ever won government in this province.New Vancouver Poll: ABC 31, Liberals and Greens Tied at 19: Fresh numbers put ABC well out front, Colleen Hardwick's party capped at 14, and 30 per cent still undecided. Pete Fry leads on the leadership questions despite his party sitting third.Too Many Parties, One Obvious Fix: George's blunt advice to Vancouver's left: pick one leader, run a coalition, or hand ABC another term. Meanwhile ABC's polling lead translates into a war chest the others cannot match.John Coupar Runs for Council: The former NPA park board chair announces a council run. George worked two campaigns with him and explains why the man who saved the Bloedel Conservatory got pushed out as chair of park board by his own side.Kits Pool Goes Viral: Two million views and 4.3 million impressions in seven days. Not a lone wolf, not bots. freekitspool.com.111 Wildfires and a Heat Dome: Boston Bar, Clinton, and a monster fire north of Vernon racing toward 100 Mile. Dry lightning, evacuation orders being ignored, and Mexican firefighters landing in Abbotsford to double the force. Jody makes the climate point and braces for the trolls.Tell us in the comments: Can Vancouver's left actually unite before October? Is Poilievre finished? And why is there still no state of emergency in Clinton?Follow Jody: @jodyvanceFollow George: @george_afflecksitkamedia.ca
